Quadrupole Ion Trap Mass Spectrometry / Chemical Analysis: A Series of Monographs on Analytical Chemistry and Its Applications (PDF)

A definitive reference, completely updated

Published in 1989, the First Edition of this book, originally
entitled Quadrupole Storage Mass Spectrometry, quickly became the
definitive reference in analytical laboratories worldwide. Revised
to reflect scientific and technological advances and new
applications in the field, the Second Edition includes new chapters
covering:

* New ion trap instruments of high sensitivity

* Peptide analysis by liquid chromatography/ion trap tandem mass
spectrometry

* Analytical aspects of ion trap mass spectrometry combined with
gas chromatography

* Simulation of ion trajectories in the ion trap

One additional chapter discusses the Rosetta mission, a "comet
chaser" that was sent on a ten-year journey in 2004 to study the
comet Churyumov-Gerasimenko using, among other instruments, a GC/MS
system incorporating a specially designed ion trap mass
spectrometer.

This comprehensive reference also includes discussions of the
history of the quadrupole ion trap, the theory of quadrupole mass
spectrometry, the dynamics of ion-trapping chemistry in the
quadrupole ion trap, the cylindrical ion trap, miniature traps, and
linear ion traps. Complete with conclusions and references, this
primer effectively encapsulates the body of knowledge on quadrupole
ion trap mass spectrometry.

With its concise descriptions of the theory of ion motion and the
principles of operation,

Quadrupole Ion Trap Mass Spectrometry, Second Edition is ideal for
new users of quadrupole devices, as well as for scientists,
researchers, and graduate and post-doctoral students working in
analytical laboratories.
